Description

Baker McKenzie has released their 2026 Global Disputes Forecast, which surveys 600 senior decision makers with responsibility for, or with a key role in, litigation at large organizations. The survey provides a wealth of information on what, why, and how senior leaders are viewing today’s biggest business risks with regards to how they might translate into complex legal disputes, with tariffs, sanctions, export controls, and cross-border or multi-agency investigations at top of mind.

Baker McKenzie partners Widge Devaney and Peter Tomczak share their insights on what the year ahead will look like, and how organizations can prepare now to succeed in 2026's legal risk landscape.
